Go to http://share.gigapan.org/viewProfile.php?userid=319 to view my user page and more of my panoramas.
________________________________ This is the same Hanauma Bay panorama as http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=4450. It's 70 columns X 25 rows of individual 8 megapixel frames stitched almost seamlessly by the GigaPan stitcher. Wave movement and people movement result in some interesting, often fun, stitching results, though. Mahalo nui loa to Scott Telstad for fixing the exposure anomalies on the fully stitched image. |

A look at Hanauma from the opposite side. I used full zoom plus the Canon 1.5x tele-extender - zoom ~650mm equivalent. I forgot my glasses, so inadvertently used Aperture Priority rather than Manual (the double A I saw looked like an M. :^\
Maybe AutoPanoGiga will soon be able to fix this problem! This image also shows the auto-focus limits of this point and shoot. I look forward to a DSLR model so I can return to this spot and take a new gigapan with my Olympus E-510. Notice, though, that you can see people on the trail up to Makapu`u Point, about 6.5 km (4 miles)distance! |

Hanauma Bay from the steps along the north rim: 25 rows x 70 columns. Mahalo nui loa to Randy Sargent for stitching this beast! Banding, again, due to strong trade winds and continuous cloud banks. Too many people to use the "pause" function efficiently, so I just let the body parts accumulate. |

This is the first proper nano-gigapan using the a modified gigapan unit attached to a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image was then assembled was then stitched using the gigapan stitching software. The image is of an ants head at 1000X magnification.
Brian Fisher, the chair of entomology at the California Academy of Sciences identified this ant as a Linepithema humile. More information about this ant can be found in the following two links: http://www.antweb.org/description.do?rank=species&name=humile&genus=linepithema&project=worldants http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0006020&shot=p1&project=worldants |

Roadcut in shales south of Wilson Lake, Kansas. Can you identify it's proper place in the stratigraphy (http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Publications/Bulletins/189/09_meso.html#CRET) of the region? |

The workshop was held at the Study Gallery of Modern Art (soon to be The Kube, http://www.thestudygallery.org), Poole, UK on 23rd and 24th March 2009. The workshop was sponsored by Sibyl King of the Fine Family Foundation and hosted by Bournemouth University.
Search on "poole" to find gigapans taken by the participants. The correct search keys are "fofs dorset" but not many of the particpants have used them. Yet. (Hint.) For a better view of the gallery see http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=20017. |

The south side of Devils Tower. Can you find the climbers? How about the birds? |

Distant cliffs of Fort Hays Limestone. Use red/blue glasses to view the anaglyph 3D effect. Created from two 12x3 Gigapan images shot about 1 foot apart. Alignment, cropping, and anaglyph shading done in Photoshop. |

This is a thin section of dunite, a rock made up almost entirely of the mineral olivine, as seen in cross-polarized light through a Leica Z6 APO Macroscope. There is a band of black mineral grains to the left of center of the image that is a cumulate layer of the mineral chromite - in the magma chamber from which these minerals crystallized that band of chromite would have originally settled out in a horizontal layer. The width of the entire field of view visible here is just under 2 cm.
Unlike most of my GigaPans I didn't have help from the robot on this one. The thin section was moved by hand and the images were shot one by one. In fact, the stitch took far less time than the capture. Nonetheless it was well worth the effort - and the kind of task that is ideally suited to undergraduate/graduate students! :-) |

A ~100 Ma intrusive igneous rock that is characteristic of Cretaceous granitoids of the Sierra Nevada Batholith.
How many minerals can you identify? |
